Minutes

• Announcements/new business:
• Operations:
  • 123Net installed, Joe cancelling Comcast (still -- they are a pain).
  • Andrew might have a pedestal grinder and other tools to donate to AHA soon.
  • Lockers need to be affixed to the wall, also reorganized.
    • Lockers will need to be cleaned out by members beforehand.
    • Need date to clear lockers out
    • Also need date to actually move/affix lockers, add board on top
    • Policy to check on usage (how long between checks?)
    • Do we set aside some lockers for temporary storage
  • Nate's pre-deployment-AHA-continuity meeting
    • Wednesday August 19 @ 1900-2100 in person/zoom

  • Financial Activity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u-uyMcVqD2N-4PDD7DziIPMaVjbLvtvV/view?usp=sharing
    • No real surprises except for Comcast billing us for two months extra after cancellation
    • Joe: Still need to close huntington bank accounts
  • Joe is now responsible for meatspace deposits - will try to count money with others present
  • Fiscal sponsorship arrangement with Krista and Morgan working well
    • Joe will put together a form for recapping what our fiscal sponsors do each year, so we can ensure we're all somewhat aware about how the money is being used.

• Membership:
  • +1 July, +1 August (reduced rate, volunteer), 1 cancelled in July, one failed payment in August, so net zero.

• Outreach / Marketing:
  • Art Fair recap
    • Canada was on fire, which affected some operations
    • We had lots of interactions at the booth, over 100 interactions we counted at the booth
    • 20 showed up at the space after, not necessarily directly related to art fair
    • Jade is working on consolidating all our social/resources links into one landing page, specifically with events like Art Fair in mind.
  • Andrew set up the laser rotary axis and fixed the e-stop!
    • Andrew will coordinate with Joe on teaching folks how to use it.
    • Some quirkiness with lightburn doing rotary designs, still figuring out some of those workarounds.
• Education:
  • Air filter workshop
    • Around 9 people attended either day.
    • SSAC would like to work with us more in the future
    • Purchased materials were pretty close to the needed amount, with only a few extras remaining.
  • Upcoming screen printing
    • Jade emailed AADL screenprinting contact, awaiting a reply.
